Guest data switching from 8510 controller for multiple branch sites.

Ambuj M — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 07:46:24 GMT

I have many sites all in Flexconnect, controller by 8510 controller, is it possible for GUEST to do central data switching.

I know authentication can be done centrally.

Thank you

Yes, you can centralize the

Yes, you can centralize the data usage of the Guest WLAN. Under the WLAN don't check the FlexConnect enabled box.

HTH,

will it work even if the AP

Ambuj M — Mon, 05 May 2014 16:36:50 GMT

will it work even if the AP is in hreap mode ??

yes sir, it will

Stephen Rodriguez — Mon, 05 May 2014 16:38:44 GMT

yes sir, it will

I might have some something

Ambuj M — Mon, 05 May 2014 16:42:56 GMT

I might have some something wrong with my testing then, I will test again, I put a post last week that was not about GUEST but about normal DATA WLAN and i think someone replied it can't be done.

this was the last post. https

That was me. But the Guest

Stephen Rodriguez — Mon, 05 May 2014 16:48:28 GMT

That was me.

But the Guest would be one VLAN, for all sites, which is different from that post

Steve

right, guest would be one

Ambuj M — Mon, 05 May 2014 17:19:46 GMT

right, guest would be one vlan say vlan 10 for all sites but since each site is seperate by L3 link, each site would have a different subnet for that Vlan 10, so on the controller, which interface subnet would I tie the GUEST ssid with ??

If i don't care about subnet, and on controller maps guest to subnet say 10.10.10.0/24 then it gets locally switches and School 1 guest users get an IP 10.10.10.1 and school 2 guest user gets an IP 10.10.10.2, which creates routing challenge.

if you're going to centralize

Stephen Rodriguez — Mon, 05 May 2014 17:32:29 GMT

if you're going to centralize the data of the Guest, then the remote site VLAN doesn't matter. The traffic will be sent across the CAPWAP tunnel to the WLC and ingress/egress there. So you only need to define the interface on the SSID, to whichever interface is the guest VLAN.

HTH,

Steve

Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the reply.

you know I am still seeing

Ambuj M — Mon, 05 May 2014 18:49:28 GMT

you know I am still seeing the same issue, with AP in flex connect mode and WLAN not enabled for local switching it does not even show up the SSID, may be its a bug I am using old gear to test this out, but I will test this on new gear.

do you have AP groups enabled

Stephen Rodriguez — Mon, 05 May 2014 18:52:49 GMT

do you have AP groups enabled?

what I have is below :USER--

Ambuj M — Mon, 05 May 2014 19:02:11 GMT

what I have is below :

USER---AP---SW---ROUTER1----WAN---ROUTER2----SW---CONTROLLER

AP in Hreap, ssid GUEST , wlan id 17, mapped to interface 10.10.10.1 in vlan 10, gateway is router1 which is 10.10.10.100. router 1 is also DHCP server, WLAN is not enabled for local switching.

I don't see the SSID.

no AP groups.

sorry typo router 2 is

Ambuj M — Mon, 05 May 2014 19:06:42 GMT

sorry typo router 2 is gateway and router 2 is dhcp.

Guest is wlan id 17. You

Stephen Rodriguez — Mon, 05 May 2014 19:15:38 GMT

Guest is wlan id 17.

You have to use AP group to get a WLAN above 16 to show on an AP.

Steve

Yes, it is possible for GUEST

Abhishek Abhishek — Wed, 28 May 2014 22:45:01 GMT

Yes, it is possible for GUEST to do central data switching as the ingress and egress traffic will go through the CAPWAP tunnel.
